LONDON : MONDAY EVENING. JULY 30, 1838 We refer with much pleasure to the ex t reme ly gratifying and cordial reception which his Excellency Marshal Soue'r and his suite experienced yesterlay at Sheerness, the derails of which will be round in another column. The scene was altog,qlter d:frcrent from anything which the Marshal had met w ith in his tour through England, Lnd it was a fittingyinale to his departure from this great maii• time nation, that he should be an eve-witness to the naval power and resources, and partake of the hospitality of British seamen. Much credit is due to Sir ROBERT OTW.',Y for the admirable arrangements made by him to do ho nour to his distinguished visitors, and relic!) must have deeply m:)ressed them with the eontictinn, that the British navy was as great and magnanimous in its friendship, as it has been powerful and unrivalled when called int ) aztfon. It is tray gratir3ing to find the two greatest nations of the earth thus uniting their energies to promote peace and concord, and to extend the arts of civilization, and do good to man kind. The sight wcs one worthy of the best days of England's naval...glory, and we doubt not that the impressions which have been made upon the minds of the illustrious visitors, will tend still further; to promote the good understanding now happily subsisting between the two countries. The following paragraph on the subject of the CHAN CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER's Joint Stock Banks' Bill is copied from the City article of our Contemporary, the Morizing Herald of this day : Considerable satisfaction has been expressed in the monetary and commercial circles that the ChanCellor Of the Exchequer has, though at the eleventh hour, brought a Bill into Parliament to amend the laws relative to legal proceedings by joint-stock banks against their own members, and by such members against the companies, inasmuch as it will, when it passes into a law, enable many of these institutions to ex tricate themselves from a great deal of unjust resistance to just claims, merely on the quibble that the former Joint-Stock Bank Act was defective on that point, and that the law of partnership was so defective also, that it could be made available where the partners were more than six in number. It would be an idle work of supererogation to compare the merits of this measure with that would-be parent of jobbing and patronage called the Trading Companies Bill, which has rande such a speedy passage through the House of Camm•ms and the House of Lords. So far as regards banking institutions, this Bill of Mr. Spring Rice's Up! do away with the necessity for Mr. Poulett Thomson's bantling, and a comprehen. live end direct improvement in the law of partnership, that would be administered by the Judges of the land with( ut favouritism or undue bins, would, as i t oug h t, sen d that patchwork concocti on of embryo jobs into the shades of legislation. Our Contemporary' s remarks upon the demerits of that would-be legislativ e abortion, Mr. PoULETT THOMSON'S Trading Companies' Bill, corrobora.e the view which we took of it the moment it first attracted our notice. But, luck for all parties concerned, the Herald has m;l4lee?eimPant m'atitite -- 1-regttvtr - tzrit="!•; namely as regard's its speedy" Passage through the House of Lords. The Peers conceded to it-the customary corn le Ws ' • PAIIE pliment of a first reading ; but unless we are greatly mistaken, when it next engages the notice of th e i r L on ' ••.• '7 . —*hips, they will come to the conclusion that it will . 4e serving the country to postpone the second reading rle for six months. 'Thy more closely-. *e• examine it, in conjunction with the Trading Companies Act of the Ist of VICTORIA, chap. 73, which it purports to amend, the more we are puzz!ed to find out what practical object, save to increase litigation, its framer could have in sot,- mating, it to Parliament. What was doubtful in the Act of 1837, the Bill of 1838 renders quite unintelligible. Were the Amendment Bill—as the President of the Boa-d of Trade furetiously calls this last pledge of his parturitive statesmanship—to become law, there is one way in which there is a chance of its operating advantageously for the country, notwith standing the contrary supposition hazarded above. It would so bewilder the lawyers as instead of two opinions, to leave them without any. The pleadings in an action upon the joint statute would bear a stronger resemblance to the speeches of the eminent counsel employed in the case of the Paris Bells recorded in the Annals of the " good Pantagruei," than any to be found in the legal R, pons of this country. We are half inclined • to suspect that Mr. POULETT THOMSON was engaged in the perusal of RABELAIS, and had actually concluded one the orations we are alluding to whe❑ the idea occurred to him of amending his last year's Trading Companies' Act— which was not three mcnths the law of the land before it was the laughing-stock of every Trading Company in the United Kingdom. With respect to the CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER'S Joint-stock Bank's Bill, we are happy to be able to concur in the favourable opinion of that mea sure pronounced by our Contemporary. The Re . port of the Pension List Committee has been published by order of the House of Commons, and we lay before our readers the principal portion of its contents, to gether with some observations of a Morning Contemporary on the subject. The investigation appears to us to have been conducted with some care, and the Report is drawn up with considerable skill. We cannot believe, however, tl, at it will satisfy t!..e country. The Committee state, for example, with reference to pensions granted in Scotland and Ireland, that they were more carelesslygranted than in England. The same principle applies to the pensions granted on the 4A per cent. duties, and to the pensions granted for life in the Irish list : " With respect to these," adds the Report, " your Committee have had before them the opinionraihe Attorney and Solicitor-Generals for England and Ireland, which affirms that such grants were legal and binding, and consequently ought not to be disturbed. Where grants of this description have been legally made, and are legally operative, your Committee consider that the economical benefit to be derived from the reduction of a few questionable pensions, would be but an imperftct compensation for the evil effects of disturbing those important princi_ pies, on which arc founded the permanence and security of all property." We must beg leave totally to differ from the Committee on some of the statements of this paragraph, and to expre's our conviction, that they mistook the object in view, a d mistaking it, have come to conclusions which will be and ought to be unsatisfactory to the public. There was no doubt, before the appointment of the Committee, that the pensions on the local funds, however improperly, were legally granted and legally held. The Committee was not appointed, therefore, to inquire into the law, and ought not to have consulted the Law Officers, but into tl e principles on which the law was founded, and ought to have consulted common sense. The plain consequence, avowed, or at least implied by the Committee, is, that pensions un justly, carelessly, and improperly, though legally, granted, are continued ; and for this injustice done to the tax-payers there can be no remedy, because the Committee chooses to bind itself by a law which it is the very business of the Legislature, and the very purpose for which this Commit tee of the Legislature was appointed, to correct and im prove. So, however, it generally is, and injustice is made of long life, because, when once embodied into a law, the law is considered, by those who make it, more worthy of observance than justice, and is suffered to overrule its dictates. Again, the Committee place in contrast'' economical be nefit," and the " reduction of questionable pensions," as if the former alone, the saving a few pounds, were the single object of its appointment. This is a grievous error. Saving was one object, but to detect, expose, and repro bate the manner in which the public has been plundered in past times, by those who claimed merit and honour for protecting it, was the far higher and more import ant consideration which gave birth to the Committee. To discredit the recipients of improper grants, and to punish them by withholding such grants if possible, was the duty of the Committee, and the little saving that might etuse was a far less recommendation than the warning which such a proceeding held out to evil doers. The tenderness of the Committee towards the recipients of " questionable grants" has made them overlook these im portent moral considerations, and impose the continuance of an unjust burden, however slight, on the industrious classes. The original wrong has been approved of and con firmed by the Committee. Nor can we by our silence sanction the conclusion of the paragraph we have quoted. The Committee recommend the continuance of questionable pensions, to pay which money must be taken from the people, because to do otherwise would dis turb the " principles on which are founded the permanence and security of property." So the permanence and security of property are founded on preserving improperly granted pensions ! The property of the industrious classes must be invaded to continue the payment of these idle pensioners for the sake of giving recurity to property ! For the Com mittee to have landed in such a gross absurdity is a pretty striking proofof the error which has guided their deliberations. We, however, owe the Committee some thanks for their small reductions, at one or two of which we rejoice much. Among the pensions to be suspended, is one to ROSANIOND CHOKER, of 3001., during the life of her husband, the Right lion. JOIIN WILSON CHOKER. This pension, the Committee say, was granted in consideration of the long services of her husband, us Secretary of the Admiralty, from which we are to infer, that to jump into the possession of a large official income, without any previous public service, and to enjoy it a con siderable number of years, is a just title to a pension for a man's wife. Mr. CHOKER was bred, we believe, to the bar, and began to seek his fortune by supplying cheap wares to a temporary journal. Chance, it is said, threw - him into Parliament for an Irish borough, where he made himsell conspicuous tier a quality common to low Irishmen and Cockneys. lie took an active pert in defending the Duke of YORK, and was rewarded for his Parliamentary service to his patty with the well-paid office of Se cretary of the Admiralty—a good appointment !Cr an unknown Irish barrister. In that dice he is sad to have been distinguished by the vulgar insolence with which he treated all the gentlemen who were compelled to communicate with him. In Parliament he was also dis tinguished for being always supplied with an appropriate fact to rebut tiny and every assertion ; and for being one of the most active instruments of his party. He was always a zealous friend of abuses, and fought to the very last against—Reform. The latest of his notorious deeds was his pandering to lingering prejudices in order to excite public animosity against Marshal SOULT. That the HERTFORDS, the RUTLANDS, and the rest of the boroughmongers should have rewarded such a man, seems natural ; but why should the public be taxed to enrich a mischievous instrument of a mischievous faction? The Com mittee have done a public service in branding Mrs. CROKER'S pension.. It is now stamped with public opprobrium, and must be wholly resigned. Some similar remarks apply to a pension granted to the son of Mr. HOLMES, ex-Ordnance Treasurer, which is to be limited to his father's life. To be the Tory whipper-in gives a claim on the purses of the Tories, but not on that of the public. Let the faction reward those who are zealous in doing its dirty work—the public protest against such an application of its means. The Committee, however preferring what is legal to what is right, and some of them looking, perhaps, to future rewards for similar services, continued the pension of Mr. HOLMES, junior, during the life of Mr. HOLMES, senior. Why was it not abolished Among the pensions to be wholly discontinued is one of: . 449/. granted to Sir D. SCOTT, Barrmet; ;and the Committee give no information whatever as to the origin of the grant. The pension is classed amongst those granted as Royal bounty, and all that, the Committee say of it is, " that they do not recommend that provision should be made for the re-grant of this pension. How will the Baronet who is well knownV Brighton henceforth administer the law there ? ,pr ep li e gzat reuqation for severity towards poor back sliders ; what will . belsay fito7Vira? We have indeed seen it stated that this pension was gaine'd WirmprOtie-rirteans— the silence of the Committee does not disprove that accu sation. Either Si: DAVID or the public may complain of the Committee. He should have been exo nerated from the charge, or the Committee should , THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, JULY 30, 1838. have stated the grounds of withdrawing the pension. If it were improperly obtained, justice in fact would not be satisfied with merely stopping the supplies. Sir DAVID has sent many persons in his time to the tread-mill for petty thefts ; and if the charge against him be true, the least that is required is to make him pay back all he has received. That might, however, shake the " per manency and security of (pension) property ;" and, there fore, we must be content with the disgrace and the punish ment implied in stopping the pension. To have only one pension branded is some advantage ; but to have ScoTT, HOLMES, and CROKER, three active mischievous Tories, stigmatised by the Committee should be a subject of public rejoicing. In another column will be found the concluding portion of Mr. O'CONNELL'S Letter to the People of Inland, the first part of which appeared exclusively in The Sun of Sat urday. The Honourable and Learned Gentleman, it will he observed, seleets as the subject of this address to his coun trymen the three most important Irish measures of the Session—the Poor-law Bill—the. Municipal Corporation Bill—and the Tithe Bill. In the remarks which he makes on the last two measures we are disposed to concur, because there is hardly one of them which we have not made ourselves in the progress of,the Bills through:Parliament. :There is, however, one im portant point on which we are bound to state our dissent from the opinion of Mr. O'CONNELL. The Honourable and Learned Gentleman takes credit to himself for hav ing originated the arrangement by which a million of the public money is to be given to the tithe proprie tors of Ireland, in lieu of arrears. Now, when this grant is viewed in its proper light, it amounts to neither more nor less than this, that a large sum of money is to be transferred from the pockets of the English and Scotch Dissenters—Catholic as well Ls Protestant—and of the Scotch Presbyterians, to the pockets of the Protestant Clergy or I re'ap's, for the purpose of supporting the Church established by law. This is our view of the case, acd as we cannot reconcile this arrangement with our notions of civil and religious liberty, we feel called upon to enter our solemn protest against it. On the subject of the Poor-law Bill we differ toto calo from Mr. O'CONNELL. We believe that a Poor-law was imperatively called for by the state of Ireland, and there fore that it was the duty of the Legislature to make the experiment. It is very easy to say that instances are very rare of death occasioned by absolute want of food ; but every one must be aware that an incalculable amount of suffering may exist, although no person shOuld perish from starvation. The case of the Shetland Islands at this moment is one in point. As to the pleasure which the Irish poor enjoy in " the sound of rushing waters, and the gleams of sunshine in spots sheltered from the wind," it is no doubt great, but this taste may be indulged too much —it may be indulged to such a degree as to be at mortal variance with those habits of re ular industry on which every man ought to depend tn- his support. The world was not intended to 11- a " castle of indolence" but a hive of industry, and one of the beneficial effe.:ts of the Irish Poor Law Bill, will be, AS we think, to provide employment for the idle. There appears to us to be a fallacy running through the whole of Mr. O'CONNELL'S reasoning on this subject. He seems not to have reflected that the burdens laid upon the occupiers of land must ultimately fall upon the proprietor of the soil . We refer our readers with sincere satisfaction to the an nouncement, in another column, of the formation of a Re form and Registration Association in the borough of Mary lebone. It is to the want of such an Association that the unfortunate result of the last election is to be in a great measure attributed. The following excellent rules, which are all that our limits will permit us to quote, will suffice to set forth the constitution of the new Society, as well as its object. We need not say that they meet our entire approbation : " 1. To promote the cause of general and local Reform by all legal meatus—to superintend and enlarge the Registration of Reformers in the Borough, and to detect and expose all fraudulent or illegal attempts to exercise the elective franchise to the prejudice of the. I,Aberal inte rest, and to prevent the division of the Liberal interest at an election. It is desired that the Association should be co..extensive with the Liberal int,rest in the Borough, and therefore it shall consist of all such persons favourable to the Liberal interest as subscribe not less than four shillings annually, or pay in one sum as life subscribers ten guineas or upwards. The subscriptions for the current year shall be paid forth with, and those for future years shall be due on the first day of January. The Sec: etary shall enrol the name and address of every sub. scriber. " 3. The Associat on shall be unCer the government of a President, Vice-Presidents, Treasurer, Trustee' , a General Committee, Managing Committee, and District Committees. • " 4. The Borough shall be considered as divided into districts, corres_ pending to the existing electoral divisions, except that the north divi sion of St. Pancras shall he divided into two, viz., the Kentish town dis tri:t and the Camden-town district." " 19. Every district shall be divided into convenient circuits, each containing as near 100 houses or rated premises, as may be practicable." " 20. To each circuit there shall be appointed, by the district Corn. mittee, to which it belongs, two or three registrars, whose duty it shall be, by personal canvas and otherwise, to work out the object of the asso ciation. For this purpose each district Committee shall be provided with detailed instructions from the managing Committee, so that the mode of praceeding may be uniform. In each district there shall be, if possible, a fixed Committee-room, and fixed days and hours of meeting, to be determined by the district Committee. The district Committees shall not incur any expense exceeding 4/. in any one year, except under the authority of the managing Committ ee, d u ly . expressed in writing." We should consider ourselves deficient in the duty which we owe to the public, did we not recommend the example of the Reformers of Nlaryle!tone to the imitation of the iiberal party throughout the country. It is a reproach to hat party that their pol:tical opponents should, by supe rior activity and perseverance, get the start of them, as they are doing in the registration courts. We see it stated in one of their daily organs t h at at B ra df or d an d Halifax, and indeed, gen era lly th roug h t h e W est Ridi ng o f Yorkshire, the balance of the new claims sent to the overs.tcrs is greatly in favour of the Tories. This ought not to b‘, and the only way to prevent it is by establishing such institutions as that to which we have directed the public attention. A file of New York JournAls to the 10th inst. inclusive, have been forwarded to us by our correspondent at Ports mouth.

To.day the Triton, of the line, anchored in the road of the Lazaretto, having left Smyrna on the let of July, at the same time with the other ships of the division of Admiral Gallois, which it left at Ouritac on the 3d. The Triton I.a, come to take in provisions and stores, and will shortly sail for the Bra. zits."—Constitutionnel. The Postillion of Gerona of the 18th contains the following lines : " We are assured that among the troops of Baron de Meer which are marching against Bcrga, there is a company of artillery of the English navy, which has volunteered to serve under the Captain-General, taking on itself in particular the management of the Congreve rackets." A letter from Berlin of the 19th July, says, that the Duke of Holstein Glucksburg is spoken of as the future husband of Queen Victoria. A letter from Toulon of 24tli July, says, that the great crisis which is approaching in the Mediterranean is the subject of general attention ; the squadrons of the several powers will soon be in pursuit ()teach other. At the date of the last news, the following are the positions of the naval divisions yf the powers interested in the affairs of the East:— The Turkish squadron of 5 ships of the line, 7 frigates, 6 smaller ships, and a steam-boat, was, on the sth July, at Gallipoli, preparing to pass the Dardanelles. The French squadron of Admiral Galloisi of 3 ships of the line; and 3 brigs, was at Ourlac, whence it was to go to Tenedos. The English squadron, under Admiral - Stopford, was going from Mahon to Malta i it corisisted.of four ships of the line and a frigate; it left a corvette at Barceloni At Malta it will find the Asia, of the line, and some brigs, and in case of need may be reinforced by the Pembroke, which is on the coast of Italy, and the Bellerophon, which is at Athens. Thus, it appears that the French squadron is the weakest of all. That of the Pacha ofEapt is of eight ships of the line, four frigates, four brigs, and a steam-boat. The Government must be quite at its ease respecting the intentions of the Porte, since it has recalled the Toulon from the Levarit to send it to Buenos Ayres. The equipment of the Montebello is proceeding rapidly, and it is supposed that that ship will join the Levant squadron with the Diadem, of the line. The Jena, which is off Tunis, might also join Admiral Gal lois.—Le Commerce. FRENCH FUNDS.—Pants, JULY 27. LATEST PRICES. Five per Cents..llll. 20c. Three per Cents. 8. lf. 90c. Bank Actions, 2,6071.

The reigning Duke of Nassau, who lately arrived here on his return from London, left this town the day before yesterday. His Excellency Baron Von De Cappellan, his Majesty's Ambas sador Extraordinary to the Court of Great Britain, is expected from London, at the beginning of next week. Sir Brook Taylor, Privy Counsellor to her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain, Knight Grand Cross of the Guelphic Order, has arrived here. BRUSSELS, JULY 28.—The King set out for the camp at Eeverloo yesterday morning. The Minister of War set out for the Camp on the morning preceding. The Prince de Ligne arrived at two o'clock this morning on his re turn from London. Among the passengers who arrived at Antwerp yesterday morning on board the Princess Victoria, were Lord George Seymour, Viscount and Viscountess Boyle and suite, Lord James and Lady Hay. ST. PETERSBURGH, JULY 11.—Since the opening of the navigation to the 19th of July, 470 ships arrived in the port of Cronstadt— sailed, 217. The Russian Journals lately announced that a great fire had happened on the 15th of June at Riajst, the capital of a district in the Govern ment of the Riazan. The official details published in the Northern Bee say that 385 houses in five villages near the town were destroyed, and three wooden houses and 23 other buildings in the town itself. The Journal of Odessa states that from the Ist of January to the Ist June, Russian produce to the value of 10,577,677 rubles, had been exported from that place; the value of foreign goods imported was 8,375,115 rubles. 347 ships from foreign countries had arrived, and 239 sailed. Exchange on London, July 13—Three months 10 21.30.—Journal de St. Petersburgh, July 14. A letter from Alexandria of the 6th instant informs us that the Egyp tian fleet, consisting of eight sail of the line, four frigates, four brigs, and a steam.vessel, are preparing to put to sea. The report was that the Pacha was resolved to assert his independence. Two Arabs, accused of having caused the fire at Cairo, had been executed. An officer and thirteen soldiers too had been shot. They were in charge of a man.of. war recently burnt in Alexandria, A letter from Toulon states that the Turkish fleet consists of five line-of-battle ships, seven frigates, and six small vessels. It was preparing for sea. The French fleet in the Levant consists of only three sail of the line and two brigs. The English Fleet, under Admiral Stopford, consists, we believe, of seven sail of the line and two fi igates. The French are preparing in Toulon taro sail of the line to join, it is supposed, their Levant fleet, and they have a third at Tunis, which may be dispatched to the Eastward. If the Pacha should, therefore, again enter into a contest with the Sultan the fleets of France and England will be on the spot, and strong enough to protect the interests of the two countries.

CITY (THIS DAYS, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Our chief arrivals this morning are from the United States. Not less than three packets have arrived from New York—the Philadel pleia, Pennsylvania, and Samson—the latter bringing the dive of the 10th July. The news they bring is not of much importance. Congress closed on the 9th July. From Canada the arrivals state that some cormnotions still exist there, owing to some few rebels going about and Plundering parties ; but we have no doubt that the military sent against them will soon put them down. Lord Durham has arrived at Montreal, where he was well received. (From the 21 , ;;1;; k Morning Herald of the 10th July.) MONEY 3 1/mu:T.—The adjournment of Congress will put an end for the present to the fluctuations of the Money Market, caused by the at. tucks and repulses of the opposing parties is the National Legislature We may therefore look forward to a season of comparative quiet until the opening of the full trade calls into activity the masses of capital both here and in England, which at present wants employment. The close co inect;on in which we are now placed with England will be a security to th 2 commercial world against being again overtaken by so fearful and dev. sting a storm as that which has so recently prostrated the trade of Our c,unt ry, and which, although it has laid hundreds uf persons beneath the ruins of a half matured and gigantic business, it has the beneficial effect to draw the eyes of the European capitalists on, and lead them to examine snore minutely than they have heretofore done, into tae nature of American Securities. The Government Bonds against the United States' Bank, authorised to be sold by the law just passed by Congress, will probably find their way to the London market, and thus those persons who recently objected to the United Sates' Bank, among other things, that foreign capital was invested in it," will be furnished with foreign gold, as a means of earning on a spendthrift Government ; and further, this very Government with the coming session must applf for and create a loan to meet the current expenses in the absence of revenue, caused by the stagnation of trade.

The supplies of free Grain continuing small, and the weather (parti cularly in the early part of the week) cold, wet, and not favourable to the maturing of the crops, have caused a good demand through the week for ad articles of the trade, and very full prices have been ob tained. Some cargoes of bonded Wheat have changed hands at 7s. 6d. to 7s. Sd. per 701bs. in Liverpool. At Wakefield and Liverpool yes terday the supplies were moderate, and business was done to a fair ex. tent at rather improving prices for almost every article. To.day we have a f.ir attendance of buyers at our Corn Exchang, Fresh free Wheats are in a steady demand, at an advance of Id. to 2d. per bushel : bonded Wheat also is much enquired tier at a similar improvement. Fresh Flour is saleable at Is. per sack advance. Fine Oats are Id. per bushel and Meal lid. per load dearer, wills an improved demand for each. Beans firm at thrmer prices. In Malt no alteration.

The arrivals of all kinds of English Grain still continues moderate Of Oats from Ireland the quantity is good, and of damaged Wheat very large. In the past week, Wheat showed some indication of further im provement, but other articles remained as previously stated. The fresh supplies of the morning consist chiefly of very moderate quantities of all sorts of Corn. The weather being unsettled, caused the factors to de matal considerably higher prices for Wheat; and the millers being somewhat inclined to purchase, the best quality obtained a further ad vance of 2s. per quarter on the terms of this day se'ennight, and other descriptions also realized more money. In Barley, Beans, and Pease, there has been a firm trade, and last quotations have been well main. tained. There being few sweet parcels of Oats at Market, such have obtained rather higher terms; the other qualities, being chiefly Irish, have sold slowly at the rates of last Monday. The Flour trade is tole. rably free, and prices firmly supported.

(FROM OUR OWN REPORTER.) It having been intimated to the authorities at Sheerness that Ma7'shal . Soult and his suite would pay a passing tisk to that port, on their way to the Continent, preparations were rrade in the course of Saturday afternoon, to give his Excellency the most cordial and honourable reception the time and circumstances would adroit of. We under stand that . Admiral Sir Robert Otway, Bart., Com mander-in-Chief at Sheerness, met Marshal Soult at her Majesty's State Dinner on Wednesday last, when the Marshal intimated to Sir Robert that his Ma jesty Louis Philippe had requested him, if possible, to visit his old friend Sir Robert Otway before leaving England. An invitation was immediately given, and as cordially ac cepted by the Marshal, who regretted that his arrange ments would not permit him to devote more than a few hours to the inspection of the Docks, Arsenal, &c. His Excellency and suite left London on Sunday mor ning at four o'clock, having pre% isusly visited the Tower, which had been thrown open at that early hour by order of his Grace the Duke of Wellington. At a quarter past four the two French steamers La Meteor and La Phaeton, ommanded by Captains Barbotin and Goubin of the French navy, got under weigh, many of the vessels in the Pool having hoisted their flags as a parting compliment to the distinguished stringers. From an early hour look-out men were stationed on the different heights and forts of Sheerness, and at a few mi nutes before nine, the French steamers hove in-sight, when they were greeted with a Royal salute from the Howe, which the French steamers returned. The scene at this moment was extremely beautiful and interesting. All the vessels in the port were decorated with a variety of flags and streamers ; the fort in front of the Admiral's house was abo similarly decorated—yachts, steamers, and boats of every description, were in , motion in the harbour, and ever y point and eminence f rom whence a view of the steamers could be obtained was crowded with the inhabitants of the town and the surrounding districts. The Admiral's splendid ship the Howe, 120 guns, had the French tri color flag flying from her main top-mast, in honour of the illustrious visitors. By the Admiral's directions Mr. Brown, the Second Master-Attendant, boarded the leading French steamer on entering the port, for the purpose of conduc:ing the vessels safely to their moorings, and in about half an hour they came to an anchor within a few hundred yards of the Howe. • Admiral Sir Robert Otway, accompanied by Admiral Sir Philip Dur ham, Commander-in-Chief at Portsmouth, immediately left the pier in his barge, and went on board the Meteor: where.they were received with due honours by the officers and crew. The most cordial greetings having been ex changed between the Marshal and Sir Robert, his Excel lency and suite entered the Admiral's barge, and proceeded to the pier, where they were received by a guard of honour of the 56th Regiment with presented arms, the band strik ing up " God save the Queen." The immense crowds as sembled en the pier took off their hats and greeted the Gallant Veteran with loud and hearty cheers, which his Excellency acknowledged with his usual condescension. The party then proceeded on foot to the Admiral's house, where his Excellency and suite were presented to Lady Otway, and the young ladies, with whom the Marshal, his • son the Marquis De Dalmatia, and the Marquis De Mornay, conversed for some time. From thence the dis tinguished visitors were escorted by Sir Robert Otway . through the arsenal and dock-yards, Sir Robert, who speaks the French language with great fluency, exCiaining to the Marshal every object of interest in their progress. The model of the docks, which is a very curious and beau tiful work of art, attracted considerable attention, the whole of the vast area being built on piles, and his Excel lency asked several questions as to the expense of the works, the time taken in their construction, &c. The ' sixty-eight pound shot fired into the town in 1688 by the Dutch Admiral, De Ruyter, when Sheerness was burned, was also shown to his Excellency. From thence the party proceeded to the dry docks, where the Cam- bridge, 74, the Vernon, and same other large vessels, were under repair. The Gorgon war steamer was the next object of interest visited, and the distins guished strangers expressed themselves highly pleased with the exquisite workmanship of her engines, and the strength and elegance of her construction. A very curious and in teresting relic was here presented to the Marshal by Mr. Bankes, a snuff-box composed of a piece of timber taken from one of the piles of old London Bridge, which bad been under water for 760 years. The box was beautifully • polished, and mounted in fine gold, and the Mirsbal ex pressed himself much pleased with the gift. On leaving the yards his Excellency expressed himself much gratified by the polite attention of Mr. Fincham, the builder, Capt. Claville, superintendent of the Chatham Dock-yards, and the other gentlemen by whom he had been accompanied.' The barges of the Admiral's ship and the French steamers were then brought alongside the pier, and the party pro- • ceeded on board the Howe, where they were received with a salute of guns, the Marines and guard of honour of the 56th presenting arms. Captain Paget, and the offi cers of the Howe having been presented to his Excellency , the company went over that splendid vessel, the high ordets and neatness of every part, calling forth the warm commen dations of the distinguished strangers. Every p ar t of s. the ship, from the quarter deck to the cockpit, was visited, all the decks, the store room, carpenter's room, armoury, &c., &c., were minutely examined, and a glass of English seamen's grog was tasted by several gentlemen of his Excellency's suite, in the store-room. Th e party then proceeded to the state cabin, where a very sumptuous dejetour ala finirchette was prosided. In the centre table, and immediately opposite the Admiral was the magnificent vase presented by the King of the French to Sir Robert, with the inscription, " From Louis Philippe, premier Ro t de France, to Vice-Admiral Sir Robert Otway, Bart-, 1832." The side-board was loaded with plate, and on the table were various naval and military emblematic devices of the union between France and England. H ere the . • Marshal was shown four brass thirty-two p oun ders, which had been sunk in the Royal George o ff spit head, and which had been " actively engaged" i n the action with Conflans, under Lord Hawke, in 1759. This point was delicately alluded to by Sir Robert Otway, and the Marshal appeared to appreciate in this as well as in other instances, the generous feelings of his host, who, throughout the day, did the honours to his numerous and diitinsuished guests with all that urbanity and cordiality fo r which the gallant Admiral' is so pre-eminently distins guished. At twelve o'clock the party, consisting of about sixty' sat down to table, the Admiral being supported on his right by his Excellency Marshal Soult and the Marquis dl Moi nay, and on his left by the Marquis de Dalmatia onu the Duke de Vicenza.
